The Plant Yourself Podcast

The Plant Yourself Podcast is a reflective interview show about transformation across health, work, relationships, and social systems. Its center of gravity is healing. Not vague healing, but the practical kind that asks what people eat, how they meet, how they lead, how they recover from pain, and how institutions shape what they believe is possible. Recent episodes show a podcast that has expanded beyond nutrition without abandoning it. Whole food plant-based eating and diabetes reversal remain part of the world here, especially in the conversation with Lewis Bertus about health coaching, mindfulness, and the barriers that keep dietary change from reaching the kitchen. But the show also follows the same change question into less obvious places. With Keith J. Corbin, leadership advice becomes a way to examine individualism, power, and the danger of treating one narrow case as universal truth. With Dr Sheella Mierson and Henry Herschel, better meetings open into sociocracy, consent rounds, objections, psychological safety, and the redistribution of voice inside organizations. With Thomas Zimmerman, trauma healing is described through attention, body awareness, memory fragments, and methods that do not depend on cinematic emotional excavation. The conversations can be personal. They can also become systemic very quickly. Degrowth, capitalism, ecological decline, health care incentives, workplace culture, intrinsic motivation, conflict, and cognitive flexibility all sit within the same moral field. Dr. Howie Jacobson’s role is often that of a thoughtful questioner who lets his assumptions get challenged in public. That gives the show a searching quality. It is less about quick answers than about finding better questions, especially when self-improvement talk leaves out relationships, institutions, and the people affected by every choice.
